What I made... and a "Superior Meatloaf"

Hmmm... I was thinking that meatloaf is kinda ugly, and so I just took the photo and got it over with. However, now I am hungry and after posting it I think it looks juuuuuuuust fine... maybe a sprig of parsley would have helped the photo? Doesn't matter what it looks like it faaaaaaaaaaaaantastic.

As a kid I hated meatloaf. HATED it... hated it... hat-ed meatloaf? How is that possible? I love meatloaf now, and ever since my husband scored this recipe from my sister (who is married to his childhood friend... this is his mother's recipe.... long story... they introduced us it's not a coincidence) it has made it's way into rotation. And let me tell you people.... it's good hot, it's good cold, you can freeze it, you can take it back out and heat it or put it on a sandwich. It is truly a "Superior Meatloaf", that's what the top of the index card said.... and it is. And it is certainly better than anything else I made this week. I made....

I made... the baby look funny... and myself look very tired after a seminar, then staying up all night in a hotel with two kids, then an all day seminar again.... yes that's me... I'm not really cranky and bossy.... okay I am but I don't look it right? RIGHT?

And a big mess in the laundry room.... this is after 5 loads that are cleaned and folded and half put away.

Let's stick with the meatloaf. Repeat after me.... thank you Lois.

About Me

I have been blogging since 2009 under the Blog Coulis and Compote but after after a hundred or so posts I realize that I am not a fancy smancy blogger. I do not have any photography experience, I do not have a book deal or time to give my food it's own photo shoot.... have you seen the rider for macaroon? Oy.
What I do have is a family I need to feed in a timely manner and a love for food which means doing things like throwing a bunch of random ingredients in a crock pot and calling it close enough really doesn't work for me. I love good food and I believe you can have it even if you have little time to cook every night. I do a lot of quick things that I think while simple are tasty and I like to share them with people hoping it means one less Big Mac that gets sold in the world. Hope you enjoy.
